ORIGINAL POSTER

I've been applying from the UK for a Muay Thai DTV and have been asked to go to the Embassy for an interview. Has anyone had this experience? All my documents are in place and everything was sent to them as requested.

The primary purpose of the interview is to ensure you are actually in the country where you are applying from.

I speculate there are some random reviews just for their own protocols and to keep applicants aware and try to limit those trying to milk the system

Exactly this. All systems and processes have QA checks built in.

@Euan ********

why? It's a course for learning. Same as Thai cooking. Why would anyone need experience to join a course

That is the first time I have heard an interview request in the UK. There are posts in here about interviews in Vietnam & Laos etc. They seem just to be quality checks and are fine.

Many people have had interviews. They want to verify you and your documents. Make sure you have everything with you to show/share.
